Human behavior is a multifaceted tapestry, woven with intricate threads of individual traits, social interactions, and contextual influences. Understanding the interplay of these factors requires sophisticated statistical techniques that can capture the hierarchical nature of data, where observations are nested within higher-level units.

Multilevel modeling (MLM),also known as hierarchical linear modeling, is a powerful analytical tool that allows researchers to disentangle the effects of individual and group-level variables on a dependent variable. By incorporating multiple levels of data, MLM enables researchers to investigate both within-group and between-group variability, providing a more comprehensive understanding of the factors that shape human behavior.
